Chapter 1239: The Deal with the City Lord

Translator: Timothy_ Editor: mjn0898

If the Yin Hai City was really a small world and if it was spirit controlled, then even a single grass’ fate would be controlled. Thinking about this, Ye Mo broke out in a cold sweat. What if the city lord invited all the powerful people in the four states to the city and closed off the small world?

Thinking about this, Ye Mo felt it was very possible. The city lord held the social every year, who knew if he would have a big one after he spirit controlled the small world?

To other cultivators, Yin Hai City was indeed very safe and fair.

With this, if they held a huge social, how many cultivators would come? Ye Mo didn’t dare to imagine.

Ye Mo understood now why the Yin Hai City had such a good reputation. It was intentional.

If this was the case, then this city lord was too scary – but why did he not spirit control this place even after a few thousand years?

Ye Mo knew he couldn’t discuss this with Meng Hanan. They had to leave first.

Ye Mo and Meng Hanan didn’t wait very long, after they just drank their first cup of spirit tea, a middle aged cultivator came with a pale faced man following behind him. He seemed like a ghost behind him.

The middle aged man set up a restriction before looking at Ye Mo calmly. “You went to the city lord estate to find me? Do you know the consequences if your jade slip contains lies?”

Ye Mo felt a powerful pressure as soon as this man came, this man definitely was the city lord Yin Xu, but Ye Mo didn’t expect him to be such a handsome man, he seemed only about in his thirties. His black hair casually landed on his shoulder, his body had good ratios too. He seemed like the perfect man.

Even Meng Hanan was amazed by his looks.

But what put Ye Mo on alert was that Yin Xu was truth realisation state level nine and his power was no weaker than Lu Wuhu.

Ye Mo got up and saluted with his fists. “Wan bei knows city lord is very busy, I don’t dare to trick you at all. City lord, please have a seat, and you too.”

The middle aged man saw that Ye Mo called himself wan bei but didn’t seem to act like one at all and was a little surprised but he nodded and sat down. However, that ghost-like person behind him remained standing.

Meng Hanan helped Yin Xu pour two cups of spirit tea and also bowed. “Wan bei Meng Hanan greets city lord and this master.”

Yin Xu looked at Meng Hanan and nodded before looking at Ye Mo again.

“Ye Mo took out a jade bottle and gave it to Yin Xu, saying, “City lord please have a look, this is the thing I mentioned in the jade slip. I know this thing is very precious but I don’t dare to guess how precious it is.”

Yin Xu took the jade bottled and opened it, his face changed immediately. He sniffed it before covering it in shock and looked at Ye Mo in disbelief. “This really is ten thousand year stalagmite marrow, a level 10 spirit medicine, and there’re ten drops here! Where did you get this?”

Yin Xu rejoiced that he had come, everyone knew about it but it was too rare in the cultivation realm.

It could not only repair spirit sense and soul but also give birth to spirit roots. Those who couldn’t cultivate could develop spirit roots by using it.

Meng Hanan also looked at Ye Mo in disbelief, she thought the most precious thing on Ye Mo was Immortal Curl Flower but there was this too. She really couldn’t distinguish which was more valuable.

“You wouldn’t show this to me for no reason, tell me – what do you want?” Yin Xu frowned but didn’t give back the stalagmite marrow.

Ye Mo immediately saluted with his fists. “City lord, the thing wan bei wants is only owned by you.”

“Tell me.” Yin Xu frowned, he felt that the thing Ye Mo wanted wouldn’t be simple or he wouldn’t take out the 1000 year stalagmite marrow.

Ye Mo nodded. “Wan bei heard city lord has a Kun scale so I want it, would you be able to give it to me?”

Hearing this, Yin Xu’s eyes flashed with a sliver of bleakness. He stared coldly at Ye Mo and asked, “Do you think ten drops of the stalagmite marrow can trade for the Kun scale? Plus, even if I give it to you you think you can keep it?”

Meng Hanan’s heart sunk, she believed the ten drops were very precious and it wasn’t impossible to trade for the Kun scale. The city lord said this, clearly meaning that he didn’t want to trade with Ye Mo.

Ye Mo immediately showed a horrified look and saluted with his fists. “Wan bei doesn’t know the value of the Kun scale. I thought ten drops of the stalagmite marrow would be able to trade for it. Wan bei was too ignorant, please forgive me city lord. Luckily this is the Yin Hai City, or else wan bei’s actions would be too outrageous.”

Hearing this, the city lord’s face eased up a little. “No matter, you didn’t trick me on your jade slip after all. Although Yin Hai City doesn’t dare to compare power with South Peace State’s Pill City, it’s the number one fair place.”

Ye Mo immediately said, “Thank you city lord, wan bei won’t waste your time anymore.”

Before the city lord could nod, Ye Mo went to grab the stalagmite marrow while smirking inside. Ten drops couldn’t trade for a Kun scale? Who was this guy tricking? Of course if that Kun scale belonged to a mature Kun, then even thousands of drops wouldn’t be as valuable as it.

But Meng Hanan said the Kun was a newborn and was only a level seven spirit beast.

The stalagmite marrow was Ye Mo’s and the city lord couldn’t stop Ye Mo from taking back his own thing so he could only put it down awkwardly on the table and let Ye Mo take it.

Meng Hanan suddenly understood why Ye Mo saw the city lord here. It was a public place, even if the city lord wanted it, he couldn’t rob it or the reputation of justice and fairness the city had set up for countless years would disappear.

Meng Hanan admired Ye Mo greatly now, if they really went into the city lord estate then even if they never came back out it wouldn’t cause much drama.

The city lord suddenly said, “How long do you plan to stay in the city? Three months later there will be a huge social and there will be many precious things there. Although they might not be as precious as the Kun scale, they will be very rare.”

Ye Mo laughed in self mockery. “I probably can’t stay here for three months, I’m actually a level nine spirit pill master. I’m planning to go back to the hotel and concoct the stalagmite marrow into Spirit Root Purifying Pill and then sell it before I leave.”

Hearing this, Yin Xu’s face changed immediately. He didn’t expect Ye Mo to waste it like that. A level nine spirit pill master dared to use it for pill concoction?

“Wait!” Seeing that Ye Mo was going to leave, Yin. Xu called him back. He didn’t trade but that didn’t mean he didn’t want the stalagmite marrow. If this idiot used it for pill concoction, how could he get it?
